    I have just received the ok from my soon to be primary boss, my bride, to go. As of 10/16 I will no longer have a business boss as I will be retired. This is a retirement present per my bride after which I will be able to focus on Z Open Source tools and advocacy.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone in Vegas.

    I'll be there - flying in from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I'll be presenting too (apparently). I've yet to start on my presentation (or book a hotel; or book flights).

    See you in 8 weeks,

    Stephen

    I will be there as well! I'm presenting one session with Liam Allan on VS Code and one smaller breakout session (They call it a TechByte) on Procedure Driven RPG. 

    This will be my first time attending TechXchange. Really looking forward to exchanging some tech!

    Safe travels all,

    Jan-Willem, great to see you in our office the other day! Sadly I couldn't attend your presentation.

    I hope to be at the next TechXchange, since we already went to Think, Las Vegas wasn't in the cards. We do indicated that in 2025 we prefer TechXchange over Think.

    Have fun all

    I'll be there, presenting 2 sessions and meeting all of you remarkable IBM Champions (and ashamed that I am so excited about getting another patch on my blue jacket). See you in the IBM Champions lounge! 😁

    I'm looking forward to attending.  I will be presenting twice and participating on a panel.  Judging by the number of quality Champion presenters, it's going to be even better than last year.

    Hello fellow Champions - I will be attending, presenting and re-introducing (with permission) another Advocacy Group in the Sandbox, i.e. the Computer Measurement Group, aka, CMG.  We will have a brief introductory video with the Blues Brothers "We are putting the Band back together".

    All you wonderful Champions and Attendees who have been around the block a few times (not my first rodeo), will recognize CMG and we hope to reinvigorate it for its wonderful Advocacy for IBM and the Mainframe.  Hope to meet as many as I can during this fantastic opportunity of the IBM TechXchange 2024.

    Who's going to TechXchange? 🖥️ It's the perfect place to show off your latest tech knowledge and style! Speaking of style, anyone rocking a hooded bomber jacket mens? 🎯 It's the ultimate fusion of tech vibes and streetwear cool.
